Other 2022 iPhone 14/Plus/Pro/Pro Max/ US Pre-Orders, Orders, and Delivery Status Thread

Like I said before, I’ve had the same protector on since I installed it on launch day 2021. I’ve dropped my phone many times on many surfaces. Today in the parking lot in the pouring rain trying to run from Target to my car being the most recent time. Still good.

Perfect! Thank you!!!

Messages you mean email or text? I’ve yet to get either from Citizens although all looks good on my iPhone pre-order and when I called citizens they just told me to wait a day or two for the email with loan number info. Strange because in past years I’d always get the email within 1-4 hours.

I’m in the same boat. Nothing yet, but received them within a few hours in past years.

That's why you order yourself with a black band. More elegant and with style.

definitely ordering a black band. but I was talking about the "Extra button" and crown color. They are both orange

Casemate is my go to. I have this one on the way:

Clear Twinkle Diamond (MagSafe) - iPhone 14 Pro Max

MagSafe, but make it fashion. Show your iPhone 14 Pro Max off without compromising function. This case includes built-in magnets that allow you to simply snap on your MagSafe charger and accessories for the fastest wireless charging experience.

I received one Case Mate already. I have two more coming to see which looks best with the Deep Purple. Don’t get the half price screen protector though. It has the ‘pill and hole’ cutout. I returned that and ordered the ESR screen protector.

Wow I’m 150 pages behind 🤦‍♂️ Friday better get here sooner or I’ll be playing catch-up the rest of my life!

@hungryteresa How’s the job hunting going? Have you been applying a lot? How do you survive in NYC with no job???

It’s going okay! I have a month severance and some money saved up. I should be fine for a few months. I hired a career coach and she’s been super helpful with guiding me through this career change. One of her rules is to apply to 30 jobs a week. 😳 I’ve been speaking to a few companies. I’m hopeful I’ll get a new job in the next couple of months. 🤞

You have?

What have you heard of them ?

I don’t recall anything bad about them. People seem to like them!

The problem with this thread is that it has me all worked up, I went and ordered the new watch as well.

Fortunately (or not), that doesn’t ship until mid-October, so I’m having it delivered to the new house!

I need something to track every couple of weeks…

What if the delivery date gets moved up appreciably?

 

[LasersGoPewPew]

I agree. Last Thursday and Friday were very unproductive. I didn't do anything at work. I didn't even take my breaks. I just sat in my office and watched planes land and take off. To top it off I was glued to this thread. So yeah, hella unproductive work week. I'm just going to close my office door tomorrow. I don't want anyone bothering me at work.

You leave the door…open?

 

[CarolG]

I get this every single upgrade. It is a must. Enjoy it!

I received this Twinkle Diamond Case Mate case two days ago. Love it! I usually get 2-3 of their cases and switch around.

I’ve been using Spigen’s screen protectors. They’re amazing. It comes with a frame that snaps onto the phone and places the screen protector in perfect alignment.

During a run a few months ago, I tripped on an uneven sidewalk and ended up breaking my fall with my iPhone 13 PM. The Spigen screen protector I had installed saved my screen by absorbing the impact and shattering. Scared the heck out of me at first because I thought the actual screen was shattered, but it was only the screen protector. I'm a Spigen customer for life now. 😅

I hate it when dust gets stuck underneath tho

I'm the ultimate klutz and I'm always somehow cartwheeling my phone across the floor and my phones look perfect because of their products. So I'm convinced. Other cases and screen protectors have not been so kind to me.

I hate it when dust gets stuck underneath tho

Once every couple of weeks I clean out the dust with a microfiber cloth and wipe the phone as well and it's fine, but I've had that issue with every case, except for the Apple Silicon cases.

That’s fine. Makes it unique and a statement 😆

Do you think any company has had the iPhone 14 (any model) secretly stocked in a high guard/secure warehouse for the last week or longer ? Ready to be shipped when sold.

That or were they all in China still no matter what?

 

[SamGabbay]

Boredom at its finest. I created a shortcut to run a specific times throughout the day. Will notify me on the latest status of my iPhone through the UPS API.

I know, I know.. I need to charge my phone.

All in China no matter what. No one gets special treatment.

Even the YouTubers and reviewers have to return the iPhone back to Apple. They don't get to keep it. Apple is definitely not cheap and they don't like free handouts.

Thanks. Took it myself. Was quite difficult, but managed to pull it off!

My sister can apply a screen protector in the dark in a dusty room - perfectly. I don't know how she does it.

How fast do orders move up after release day? I'm planning to wait till the beginning of next month to get my case. My delivery date says October 18th-25th currently.

Hi everyone, first time poster here. I am excited for my silver 14 pro max 128 gb coming this Friday!

I've read that you can hold the package at the local UPS center instead of waiting for the UPS delivery driver. If I request my package to be held at UPS Customer Center for pickup, does that mean I can pick it up right away on the morning of Friday the 16th?

same here! But I meant during screen protector installation lol

I can’t believe iOS 16 drops tomorrow. Seems like yesterday when we saw first beta of iOS 16 in WWDC.

Yes, welcome! you are able to pick it up as long they are open for business. Make sure it’s the correct one assigned to you.
